Harrington Makes History at Senior Open | Columbus News

Padraig Harrington just rewrote history at the U.S. Senior Open, becoming the first player in 41 years to win it three times—with a stunning Sunday comeback that included four birdies on the front nine to erase a one-stroke deficit and finish at 12 under par, four strokes ahead of Stewart Cink. The win places him in rare company, echoing Miller Barber’s 1985 feat, and adds to his already legendary résumé: three majors, two British Opens, and six Ryder Cup victories—including captaining Europe to a 2021 win. Cink, who entered Sunday leading by one shot and chasing a historic sweep of the first three senior majors, faltered with three bogeys on the front nine, handing Harrington the momentum he needed. Weather forced morning tee times to avoid afternoon storms, and with momentum from his recent Senior British Open win, Harrington is now gunning for another major title.
